Who trains at Katargam
Katargam is the older floor, and it opens at five in the morning — a full hour before Adajan. That hour is the whole character of the place. The first people through the door are on their way to a shift, and they train early because it is the only part of the day nobody else has a claim on.
It is also the address that a fitness certification institute listed as its head office, which is not something that happens to a gym by accident. Courses ran off this floor, and some of the people who took them are now coaching in Surat themselves.
The room is laid out for barbell and machine work in roughly equal measure: dumbbell racks down both walls, a cable crossover along the length of the floor, plate-loaded machines, and a separate cardio corner with treadmills, cross trainers and a recumbent bike. With 91 Google reviews it is the branch most of Surat has actually been inside.

What the Katargam branch costs
These are Katargam's own rates. The one-month price is the same at both branches; from three months on they differ, so the figures below are not the same as the ones on the Adajan page.
| Term | Price | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| One month | ₹1,700 | — |
| Three months | ₹3,500 | ₹1,167 |
| Six months | ₹6,000 | ₹1,000 |
| Twelve months | ₹10,000 | ₹833 |
| Couple, twelve months | ₹18,000 | ₹1,500 |
Personal training is charged on top of a membership rather than instead of one, and starts at ₹7,000 a month with one of the trainers here, or ₹10,000 with Brijesh Joshi himself. A guest day pass is ₹300. The whole card, including the couple rate and online coaching, is on the fees page.
Katargam or Adajan: which one you should actually use
Same coach, same method, same programmes. Four things genuinely differ, and none of them is the quality of the coaching.
| What differs | Katargam | Adajan |
|---|---|---|
| Opens | 05:00 | 06:00 |
| Twelve months | ₹10,000 | ₹9,000 |
| Floor last photographed | March 2019 | July 2026 |
| Google rating | 4.5 from 91 reviews | 4.6 from 28 reviews |
The 5:00 am opening is the reason to be here. Adajan does not open until 6:00 am, and for anybody training before a working day that hour is worth more than anything else that separates the two floors. If you have ever stopped going to a gym because the evening kept disappearing, this is the branch that fixes it.
You pay a little more for the longer terms. Twelve months here is ₹10,000 against ₹9,000 at Adajan, a difference of ₹1,000 across a year. That is real and it is small, and it should not send you across the river if this is the floor you can actually reach.
The honest weakness is the photographs. This floor was last photographed in March 2019, so the equipment list on this page is a record of what was in the room then rather than a promise about today. Fresh pictures are owed. Until they exist, come and look before you commit to a long term.
It is the busier listing. 91 Google reviews against 28 at Adajan, which mostly reflects how long this branch has been the larger of the two rather than anything about the coaching, which is the same at both.
Whatever the table says, take the nearer one. Over three months distance decides attendance more reliably than any row above it, and attendance decides your result.
If you are coming in with something specific
The coaching at Katargam is the same coaching as at Adajan, and every one of these is trained at both floors. What changes is what has to be explained first, so there is a page for each of the reasons people actually walk in with.
- You have never trained before What the first week actually looks like
- A knee, hip or shoulder that hurts Training around a joint rather than through it
- You are past forty What changes, and what does not
- Back pain from a desk The most common complaint on both floors
- You are a woman on a mixed floor Written plainly about what this gym is and is not
- Coming back after an injury Starting again without repeating it
